If you are interested in photography, you will enjoy the Smithsonian Magazine’s article on her work.
Diane Arbus- A Talented, but Troubled Soul
Like many talented artists, Diane Arbus never lived to see the acclaim by her peers and fans. Unfortunately, she suffered from depression and committed suicide in 1971 at the age of 48 in Greenwich Village, NY. While, she died before her time, she definitely made an impact in photography and art circles and created numerous photos that garnered admiration.
Diane Arbus had a great talent finding bizarre subjects sometimes on the fringe of society. These included prostitutes, dwarfs, giants, transvestites, etc. Some of Diane Arbus’s most famous photos include:
- Child with Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park
- Identical Twins
- Jewish Giant at Home with His Parents
